"Shopping, Entertainment & Education"

If you’re interested in shopping in Huntington Beach, then you should visit Edinger Avenue. The Bella Terra shopping center is located on Edinger near the intersection of Beach Blvd and the 405 freeway. Ever since this new outdoor shopping and entertainment center replaced the outdated indoor Huntington Mall, it has become a magnet for residents of Huntington Beach and surrounding cities. Bella Terra features a theater complex, large stores, small boutiques, and a variety of dining choices. Weekly free concerts are held in the center’s small amphitheatre.

Located directly to the west of Bella Terra on Edinger Avenue is Golden West Community College. Due to the college’s low tuition, many local students complete their first two years of college at Golden West. It’s also a great place to complete a certification program in a skilled trade. About 14,000 students attend Golden West college. The campus is medium-sized and is easily accessible from either Edinger Avenue or Goldenwest Street.

Continuing west, Edinger Avenue passes through a neighborhood of well kept homes built in the 1960s and then a neighborhood of small business and light industrial companies. The large Boeing facility is located just to the north. Edinger ends two miles from Golden West College at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.
